Latitude D620 and Ghost 8.0
We are currently trying to get the D620(the NIC card is a: Broadcom 5721C1 NetXtreme) to work with Ghost.. I am positive Ghost has no problems. We downloaded the drivers from Dell, Broadcom, and one other place (Forgot where though). We added them into the Ghost server and created a bootable diskette. From there we added these files to our USB key(We have a bootable USB key which makes work WAY faster from Ghost)(The USB key is not the problem either, I tried the diskette with the same error also). We then attempted to boot up the Ghost Client. It starts PC-DOS and gets through the first step or two, then when it gets to the Broadcom drivers it tells me "Unable to detect devices, Cannot load drivers." then 1 or 2 steps later it tells me "Error: 33 Cannot bind.." (obviously because it did not load the drivers). As I mentioned before we tried probably 6-8 different drivers we found for the 57xx series, 570x series, and something else. All failed.. I came to the conclusion that it must be something in the protocol.ini because I read somewhere that the drivername="" needs to be set correctly or it will give a similar error.. I tried about every single differnet combination or listing i found that look anywhere near our NIC name: B57$, B57xx$, B57n$, .. All failed. We disabled all of the other ethernet stuff(Wi-Fi). So we are down to either the protocol.ini file or for some reason the BIOS wont let the NIC talk to the boot session.
I know this is a rather long explination, but I just wanted to make sure I got all of the information or as much as I could out all at once.
I hope someone has some ideas!!! Thanks!!!!
